Guest Reviews
- Graham (10/5): - Our host was most helpful. Great stay.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Cute property with loads of charm in very central area. The staff is not onsite so codes are sent to guests. Was not able to reach staff with some questions but it was fine as it wasnt a drama. Just make sure all your questions are answered before you check in as its a self-serve property.
- Sean Paul (2/5): Would not recommend - We booked and paid for a king room and ended up with a queen room.
- Catherine (10/5): - Lovely old property. Great location.
- Peter (10/5): - Riversleigh was lovely the old historic building was wonderful and outfitted beautifully however there was a lunatic across the road in Norton street who played loud music late at night and very early morning around 4am this ruined our stay unfortunately.
- Mark (10/5): - The place was old school charming & Erica was a gracious host. Great location. Highly recommend it.
